Chapter 20 - Flood on the Floor

-| I don't think I could ever kill Ski off so surprise! He's still alive :) Also I listen to a lot of Purity Ring, so there's gonna be a lot of chapters named after Purity Ring songs :) |-

::Andromeda's POV::

We found Ski in his bed with his headphones in, looking at the ceiling. The light that shone in from me opening the door caught his attention.

"Ski?" I called his name. He took one headphone from his ear and answered with a "hm?".

"Carlos just threw Anah in The Cage room. Why?" My question made him jump off the bed.

"Anah's in The Cage?" He repeated to make sure he heard me correctly. I barely nodded my head before he dipped past Jahseh and I and headed toward that Godforsaken room. He dug around in his pocket for his "administrative" keys.

"Wait vro, what are you doing?" Jahseh jumped in front of him before he got the main door open.

"I'm going to let Anah out." Ski answered as he tried to walk around Jahseh, but couldn't because he stayed in his path.

"Do either of you use your heads?" Jahseh said as he looked back and forth between Ski and I. I raised an eyebrow. "You think he's not gonna do anything if you let her out?"

"She doesn't deserve to be in there-" Ski began.

"She doesn't?" Jahseh lowered his voice to a whisper.

"No vro. She doesn't."

"The same girl who couldn't keep her word as a girlfriend and drew blood when you tried to leave her? She doesn't belong in there?" Jahseh said smacking a scar on Ski's arm.

"That was Anah, not Anomaly." Ski tried to explain, but Jahseh shook his head.

"Same fucking difference."

"Nah the demon that terrorizes everyone is Anah, the nice girl you met today was Anomaly."

"You think they're 2 people in one?" Jahseh asked to see if Ski was serious.

"Yes vro. Carlos is doping her up on pills. You noticed the sudden change in personality today, didn't you?" Ski asked. Jahseh nodded. "Alright then, like I said: She doesn't deserve to be in there. If she were still affected by her pills, I wouldn't give a damn but this Anomaly. Not Anah." Ski explained. I could feel he cared for her. After a brief moment, Jahseh nodded as if he understood.

"Still vro. Don't do nothing stupid. Carlos wouldn't like it if you freed her right after he threw her in there--"

"Ion give a fuck what that nigga would like--"

"You remember what happened last time you pissed him off." Jahseh gave Ski a serious look in the eyes.

"What happened last time?" I piped in curiously. Jahseh looked at Ski and Ski looked at me for a moment, then sighed.

"I have plenty of scars. All of which have their own story." He explained vaguely. I took that as Carlos did something to Ski to let him not to ever cross him again.

"I should at least go see her."

"Yea if you do, you should bring some bandages, I noticed a cut on her knee." I said.

"A cut?" Ski looked surprised. "He cut her? On the knee of all places?"

"I don't know about how it got there, I only saw it. I didn't wanna bring attention to it while she was in there half naked." I responded.

"Half naked?"

"Yea, he took her dress from her." Thankfully Ski and I were connected so I could sense his emotions, and what I sensed then was rage.

"I'll go get some bandages." He said through gritted teeth and left for the clinic.

"You wanna go back to your room? My room? Library?" I asked Jahseh after a moment of silence.

He simply shrugged his shoulders.

I didn't know what to say since that made it even more awkward.

"Well I'm gonna venture around and get lost. See ya." I said and turned away. I didn't wanna be alone, I enjoyed Jahseh's company. But I also didn't wanna stand there awkwardly until he decided on what he wanted to do. He caught up to me after I was a couple feet away from him and caught my wrist. He stared into my eyes and for a second I thought he was going to kiss me, but then I realized what he was doing.

"What are you looking for Jahseh? Get out of my head." I said defensively as I snatched my wrist away.

"Paris." He said blankly.

"She had sex with you, too?" I didn't wanna believe that, but I also wouldn't put it past her.

"No," he began. "She is why you're mad at Ski, I saw it. She had sex with him?"

"Yea. Slut." I rolled my eyes at how promiscuous my best friend could be.

"And why do you care?" He asked. I looked down as I felt my cheeks heat up.

"Why else would I care..." I muttered, slightly embarrassed.

"You like him." He concluded.

"Ding ding ding." I looked at him and his face was straight. "Sorry. Sarcasm is like a defense mechanism for me. But I'm seeing that he likes Paris and not me. And Anah too apparently so I'm not gonna sweat it. I mean look at me, ugh."

"Don't say that."

"What, the truth? Of course he likes Paris better than me, she's tall, she's thick, she speaks 4 languages. I'm short, I'm fat, COMPRESSED even, and I only speak 2. She has purple eyes for crying out loud!" I said getting myself worked up.

"Don't you have colorful eyes, too? You said so on the phone."

"What phone? Ski keeps telling me that I called and told Carlos who I was and where to find me but do you really think I would out myself like that?"

"Well if it wasn't you, then who was it?" Jahseh asked. I shrugged my shoulders.

"I don't know. And that's the scary part." I tried to think, who in the world would know I was a Netherrack and also know Carlos? And call and get me abducted? Then it hit me

It was Paris.
